a new day has come,
a new world before us!
in the beginning again,
we are the first hope.
pick up the plow,
till the earth…
our home and our hope!
a new day, a new way,
we work side by side..
beneath the sun, in the rain…
and we make love all night!
time is for the taker,
and now is the time…
put down your sword,
pick up the plow!
